I've been using wikis for a long time. My first was in squeak, a swiki developed at georgia tech. I've converted much of my wiki work to doku, but still use the swiki for much of my teaching - mostly course wikis for my studio courses.
The biggest reason the swiki is desired by students is that they can customize their pages using html code. Background color, images, font choices . . . . . can all be adjusted in the edit window. I've tried turning html on and use it in doku, but it does not change the background. Is it possible to allow more user-page customization.
I think they like this because it is like facebook and myspace.
